I have been dealing with back problems since 1995 when I was with the Blackhawks, and I've only missed part of one season because of it. That was last season in Toronto.

Sometimes I can be misunderstood. I'm really competitive.

I always wanted to play professional hockey. Every hockey player's dream, no matter at what level or what age, is to play professionally. At first you don't know what it's all about, but you have that dream and you always work hard toward it. The older you get, the more you start dedicating yourself to the game.

I've learned not to be as maniacal as I used to be.

It's always discouraging when you don't have things go your way. They are frustrated just like the rest of us.

Winning the Stanley Cup in '99 was a dream come true. I'll never forget it.
